It's a funny thing I think about marriage. One week all is well and then the next, ah, well...life happens. We each have our strengths and weaknesses that we bring to our marriages. A few years ago, there was a book that was very popular titled Love and Marriage by Emmerson Eggerichs. I will always remember my husband's opinion of this book. He disagreed with the premise of the book. The premise was that if the wife respects her husband, then the husband will love his wife. It was the "If..then..." that concerned my husband. In his mind, there is no guarantee in marriage. I know many people were encouraged by this book and I am glad for that. But, I'm very aware that there is no "right way" to do marriage or to be a parent. We cannot guarantee the outcome of our efforts. But, what we can do is do our best to glorify God in our marriages and as parents. Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart...
